This is the second individual part of the pairing of the Yin & Yang series, the previous beer Yin being revied earlier. This one is the Imperial IPA, which makes up the Tan part of the cocktail. I served this chilled.

Appearance: A dark amber colour, turning orange when held to the light
Aroma: Smells a little savoury, with hits of paprika and hop oils.
Flavour: A mix of salt, syrup and hop on the front followed by a soft but absolutly delightful blend of lemon and peaches from the hops.
Body: Full and syrupy on the front, then crisp and dry in the back.
Aftertaste: The afternotes turn a little bitter, but this dies down with drinking, leaving a sticky hop syrup note in its place.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 8, a little rough in places but the hop notes are really pleasant.
Price Range: £5.00 for a 355ml bottle, this one is a little more worth it, but still too much compared to what you can get for the same price.
Food Pairings: This has quite a complex profile so I would say something like a sharp, hard cheese with some white crusty bread.
